      AGREEMENT (the "Amendment") made as of May 31, 2001 by and between
TRANS-LUX CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation having an office at 110 Richards
Avenue, Norwalk, Connecticut 06856-5090 (hereinafter called "Employer"), and
MICHAEL R. MULCAHY residing at 24 Beeholm Road, Redding, CT 06896 (hereinafter
called, "Employee").

      WHEREAS, Employer and Employee have entered into an Employment Agreement
dated June 1, 1998 which expires May 31, 2001 (the "Employment Agreement"); and

      WHEREAS, the parties desire to extend and amend the Employment Agreement
pursuant to this Amendment;

      NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

      1.  Section 2(a) of the Employment Agreement is amended in its entirety to
read as follows: "(a) The term ("Term") of the Agreement shall be the period
commencing on the date hereof and terminating March 31, 2002."

      2.  Section 4(a) of the Employment Agreement is amended by adding new
sentences as follows: "During the period June 1, 2001 to March 31, 2002,
Employer shall pay Employee a salary at the rate of Two Hundred Twenty-Five
Thousand Dollars ($225,000) per annum.  In addition, in place of the sales
override commission for the period January 1-May 31, 2001, Employee's sales
override commission (i) for the period January 1-December 31, 2001 shall not
exceed $40,000 and (ii) shall not exceed $10,000 for the period January 1-March
31, 2002".

      3.  Section 4(d) of the Agreement is amended in its entirety to read as
follows:

      "(d) The Board upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee of
the Board shall consider no later than May 31, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003
respectively (provided there is no delay in obtaining the financial statements
as provided below, but in no event later than 45 days following receipt thereof)
the grant of a bonus ("Bonus") to Employee based on Employer's performance for
the immediately preceding fiscal year.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employer
shall pay Employee the Bonus rate applicable for each level of annual pre-tax
consolidated earnings for any of the fiscal years ending December 31, 1998,
1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002 only, (provided however that the Bonus, if any, for
2002 shall be 25% of the amount set forth below for such year), in the
respective amounts hereinafter set forth in the event Employer's pre-tax
consolidated earnings for such year determined in accordance with Section 4(d)
meet or exceed the respective amounts hereinafter set forth, such Bonus not to
exceed $125,000 for any year ($31,250 for January 1-March 31, 2002).

Amount of Annual Pre-Tax     Bonus Percent    Highest Amount
 Consolidated Earnings       On Amount        Per Level
------------------------     -------------    --------------

   $250,000 -   999,999        1 3/4%          $17,500
 $1,000,000 - 1,999,999        2 1/4%          $22,500
 $2,000,000 - 5,400,000        2 1/2%          $85,000
                                              $125,000 (highest aggregate Bonus)

No Bonus shall be payable on annual pre-tax consolidated earnings in excess of
$5,400,000.  There shall be excluded from the calculation of pre-tax
consolidated earnings during the Term of this Agreement the amount by which (x)
any item or items of unusual or extraordinary gain in the aggregate exceeds 20%
of the Employer's net book value as at the end of the immediate preceding fiscal
year, (y) any item of unusual or extraordinary loss in the aggregate exceeds 20%
of the Employer's net book value as at the end of the immediate preceding fiscal
year, in each case in (x) and (y) above as determined in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles and items of gain and loss shall not be
netted against each other for purpose of the above 20% calculation, or (z) any
contractual Bonuses and or contractual profit participations accrued or paid to
Employee and other employees.

      Provided Employee is not in default of the Agreement, the Board may, in
any event, even if any of the aforesaid pre-tax consolidated earnings levels are
not exceeded, grant the Employee the aforesaid Bonus or any portion thereof for
such year based on his performance.

      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Employee is
not in the employ of Employer at the end of any aforesaid 1998, 1999, 2000 and
2001 fiscal year, or on March 31, 2002 no Bonus shall be paid for such fiscal
year or part thereof as to 2002.  In the event of Employee's death on or after
January 1 of 1999, 2000, 2001 or 2002, or April 1, 2002 as to 2002, any Bonus to
which he is otherwise entitled for the prior fiscal year or 2002, as the case
may be, shall be paid to his widow if she shall survive him or if she shall
predecease him to his surviving issue per stirpes and not per capita.

      Such pre-tax consolidated earnings shall be fixed and determined by the
independent certified public accountants regularly employed by Employer.  Such
independent certified public accountants, in ascertaining such pre-tax
consolidated earnings, shall apply all accounting practices and procedures
heretofore applied by Employer's independent certified public accountants in
arriving at such annual pre-tax consolidated earnings as disclosed in Employer's
annual statement for that year of profit and loss released to its stockholders.
The determination by such independent certified public accountants shall be
final, absolute and controlling upon the parties.  Payment of such amount, if
any is due, shall be made for each year by Employer to Employee within sixty
(60) days after which such accountant shall have furnished such statement to
Employer disclosing Employer's pre-tax consolidated earnings for each of the
years 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002.  Employer undertakes to use reasonable
efforts to cause said accountants to prepare and furnish such statements within
one hundred thirty (130) days from the close of each such fiscal year and to
cause said independent certified public accountants, concomitantly with delivery
of such statement by accountants to it, to deliver a copy of such statement to
Employee.  The Employer shall not have any liability to Employee arising out of
any delays with respect to the foregoing."

      4.  The third paragraph of Section 7 is amended by deleting "$215,000" on
the 5th line and substituting "$225,000" in place thereof and deleting "June 1,
2001" on the sixth line and substituting "April 1, 2002" in place thereof.

      5.  All other terms and conditions of the Employment Agreement remain in
full force and effect without amendment.

      6.  This Amendment shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of New York.

      7.  This Amendment contains the entire agreement between the parties on
the subject matter contained herein.  The Employment Agreement as amended by the
Amendment may not be changed, modified, extended or renewed orally except by an
agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver,
change, modification, discharge or extension is sought.

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Amendment to the Employment Agreement has been
duly executed on the day and year above written.
